Overview
Take your sea-to-sky experience to new heights this summer! Join us at the Sea to Sky Gondola for our Squamish Via Ferrata adventure. On this 1-1.5 hour adventure, you easily grab and step on ladder-like rungs, cross exhilarating suspension bridges, and take in the scenic beauty of ocean fjords and snowy peaks all while safely attached to the rock with fixed cables.
What you will be doing
At the harnessing deck, get fitted with climbing equipment.Along with a helmet, you'll be provided with a harness and lanyards, made up of two leashes that are clipped onto the cable for safety. With the entire route secured in this manner, Via Ferrata is a family-friendly activity (ages 8 and up). Hike briefly down the Sea to Summit Trail through an old-growth forest, and emerge to a rewarding view of Howe Sound. At the 'flight deck,' your guide clips you into the safety cable.
See Howe Sound below and the snowcapped peaks of Sky Pilot above. With the help of the steel rungs and the fixed cable system, make your way across bridges, cross a catwalk, and head up glacier-worn granite.
Your Via Ferrata adventure ends at the Sea to Sky Summit Lodge, where you can relax on the sun deck.
